gnome 3 gnome-setting-daemon high cpu usage

Slowly I'm getting used to G3 but the thing that concern is the high, nearly and over 100% usage of cpu by gnome-settings-daemon, runned by gdm user in htop. Anybody got the same experience?

Yup, same here, dont actually know why, but im gonna try de-activate gdm and use a pure .xinitrc to see if it solves anything.

edit, yup commenting out gdm from /etc/inittab and just putting exec ck-launch-session gnome-session in .xintitrc solved it for me, now i can use my laptop with ease

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Saw it once. Had to reboot to get it killed.

Started when I installed cups and added cups-daemon right in front of gdm. changing the order of daemons in rc.conf solved the problem for me (cups starts earlier now).
